I got a Moleskine notebook for a price that not much people would pay (in RM) for a 192 pages notebook. The notebook is handmade in Italy with a long history. It is sort of like a notebook for guys with midlife crisis. Its like, " I am using a Moleskine, what have u got??" type of notebook!People buy these notebook because the company which produced these notebook claimed that Van Gogh had sketched on these type of notebook, Picasso had used it and Hemingway had written on one with similar design (elastic band to hold the notebook shut).
Moleskine had numerous type of notebook, sketchbook, etc. I think the one worth buying is the sketchbook and city notebook (for travelers to major city like Paris, London, Beijing, etc). If I do paint, I would definitely get the Moleskine water-colour notebook with 200gm papers (Shyang, go get 1).
But, I definitely wouldn't buy another one for everyday use. (The one I bought is for our travel log!)
